Lobed tickseed in the United States typically blooms from late spring to early fall. The flowers are at their best during the summer. Blooming occurs only once per year period, lasting for weeks. The plant needs a period of consistent sunlight and well-drained soil to bloom with success.

For best growth, water Lobed tickseed every 10 to 14 days in the growing season. Ensure the soil is evenly damp but not soggy, letting the top inch become dry between waterings. When dormant, water less often, about every 21 to 30 days. Check soil moisture by putting a finger in the soil; if it's dry, it needs water. Adjust water amounts based on weather like temperature and humidity. Don't water from above to prevent fungal diseases; water at the plant's base.

Lobed tickseed thrives in standard soil. It likes well-drained, nutrient-rich earth. Feed the tickseed in early spring using a balanced 10-10-10 formula fertilizer. Follow instructions on the bag. Fertilize again in summer. Do not over-fertilize or the plant will have less flowers. Check for yellow leaves, a sign it needs more food. Make sure the ground does not get too wet. Test the dirt to ensure good drainage and nutrients for the tickseed.

Lobed tickseed benefits from regular pruning to maintain its shape, promote new growth, and enhance flowering. To keep the plant healthy and flowering well, prune in early spring before new growth starts. Use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts. Remove any dead or damaged branches by cutting back to healthy areas. Also trim overgrown parts to help keep the plant more compact. Water the plant thoroughly and give it a balanced fertilizer after you finish pruning. This will help it recover and encourage new growth.

Lobed tickseed thrives when potted. It is adaptable to kinds of soil and damp levels. To put the plant in a pot, pick a potting mix that drains and a pot with holes for drainage to stop waterlogging. Put the plant where there is bright, not direct sunlight and water when the top inch of soil is dry. When repotting, carefully loosen the roots and put the plant in a slightly bigger pot to let it grow. Sometimes mist the plant to raise humidity. Once a month in the growing season fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

Lobed tickseed can be propagated using seeds, division, and cuttings. Division involves root separation for replanting. Cuttings use stem pieces to root in growing medium. Leaf pieces planted in soil or water make roots before planting. Careful water and light help propagation success.

Lobed tickseed requires various pests and diseases, including aphids, spider mites, and powdery mildew. Prone sap or damage leaves to weaken the plant. Small insects feeding on plant sap leading to stunted growth and distorted leaves are aphids. Spider mites are tiny arachnids that also consume sap, resulting in yellow stains on the leaves. A white powdery substance on the leaves that prevents photosynthesis is powdery mildew fungal disease. To prevent these issues, regular inspection of the plant for early warning is essential. Additionally, promoting decent airflow around the plant and stopping overhead irrigation helps avoid powdery mildew. The cumulative impacts of these pests and diseases cause withering of the plant, resulting in an overall decline in plant health.
